Since there are so many fans of the Battlefield series on TPU I thought it maybe cool to start a clubhouse for them. All versions of Battlefield are welcome discussion here along with rumors, intel, tactics and tweaks. Ill also be adding a desktop section very soon so everyone can display their Battlefield love.

haha, anyone can fly with me so long as they can shoot down choppers with the video missile thing.

as for flying those 2 big seater jets, Im not a huge huge fan since they 'feel' heavier then the standard single seater fighter jets & therefore are less agile & tend to get dominated by single seater jets, but I'l fly anything. id even fly one of them small retardedly fast dune buggys if it had a jet engine.
